1
All right, let's begin.
2
So could you tell me your full name please?
3
My name is Nina Weera Hadi Raksa.
4
Okay, I'm not gonna ask you to spell that, I'll just write it here.
5
All right.
6
So yeah, are you working or are you a student?
7
I'm currently a university student and I'm off book at the moment.
8
Okay, and could you tell me about your major?
9
It's a pharmacology major and actually I switched from nursing to pharmacology and I'm again in off book period.
10
Okay.
11
And what do you like to do in your free time?
12
I like to listen to music, especially R &B, soul.
13
Not a big fan of K -pop but I would say I listen to a lot of different genres.
14
Okay.
15
And now let's talk about plants.
16
So do you like to keep plants at home?
17
Not really as I am very bad at maintaining plant -like life.
18
I'm kind of not good with taking care of them
19
and I do like to watch them but it's just
20
that I'm not very affable with maintaining plant life in general so I don't really purchase them.
21
Okay and did you grow any plants when you were a child?
22
Not that I remember but I do remember that in my house there were many different types of plants
23
like really big ones for example like massive ones
24
that my mom used to keep but not really of my personal flavors or like my own.
25
Do people in your country send plants as gifts?
26
In Korea I think they do gift plants
27
when for example a new business opens up
28
and it's being staged for example for like an opening event
29
in new business industries people do send gifts like the plants as gifts for celebrating the new start of their career.
30
Okay great now let's talk about social media so do you use social media?
31
At the moment I am currently using Instagram but only with the purpose of contacting my friends on a direct message.
32
And do your friends use social media?
33
Yes, Instagram.
34
Not many of my friends use Facebook.
35
I think it's outdated these days.
36
I do know that they have a new name called Meta, but personally I'm not really a fan of Facebook or Twitter.
37
So I'm only using Instagram at the moment.
38
And what do people often do on social media?
39
I think they scroll down on what's called reels,
40
the short form of video that actually does lure people into scrolling down like for a massive time period.
41
It's interactive, sometimes intuitive.
42
The contents are drawing in people's attention easily.
43
And I also do think they post their personal lives on what's called a feed.
44
It's like their own kind of personal platform in the social media platform.
45
Yes.
46
And do you think you spend too much time on social media?
47
Not really in my view I spend more time on going out I'm not very extroverted, but
48
It's just
49
that I'm not really on social media all the time nor
50
I watch TV often Maybe YouTube maybe the time I spend more
51
Regarding media is YouTube and Instagram
52
but as I said before I only use this Instagram platform for contacting
53
and DMing with direct message with my friends
54
so not really a big fan of like scrolling down Reels
55
or spending too much time on Instagram okay perfect that'll for
56
part one I will go on to part two of the test here is your question
57
so now I'll give you one minute to do some note
58
-taking you can you can make notes on the paper all right so you can begin now That's one minute now.
59
So could you describe a city that you think is very interesting? To me,
60
Tuscana in Italy is the most interesting city
61
and the most known city for nurturing and for its scenic nature
62
and I personally enjoyed traveling to the city
63
because it did gave me this embracing feeling that I was being welcomed
64
and I went to this trip for a e -biking trip from school when I was in 10th grade
65
and the bike trip itself in Tuscany was relaxing enough
66
and also the view did lure people into having more sensible trip I guess in a way
67
that as I said it was a very welcoming vibe
68
and the ambience was focused on nature not so much of a youthful
69
or busy like bustling city kind of a sense but food wise
70
and the nature wise I think it was a very sensible
71
and relaxing trip to me that's 1 23 for now okay good
72
and do you think you would like to go back there again in the future?
73
Not as a biking trip but family trip wise,
74
yes I would say I would go back because Italy itself is very fairytale -like as in a sense that it's beautiful. So yes.
75
Yes okay perfect.
76
Okay now let's go on to part three of the test.
77
Let's keep going.
78
So do you think the large cities in your country will become even larger in the future?
79
In South Korea, Seoul is already grand.
80
For example, Sejong city, I do know that they were not of a big scale in terms of size in the past,
81
but they have worked through and endeavored into expanding the city itself with the infrastructures and the amount of people,
82
like the population -wise, they wanted to grow.
83
So in terms of that, Sejong City, for example, yes.
84
And I do think they have the potential that they will grow bigger
85
because they're investing in a lot with population and infrastructure.
86
And I am not really into learning about the new cities or I don't have much of the knowledge in it.
87
At least I know some bits, like for example, Sejong city.
88
Yes, yes.
89
And what are some issues that cities face when the population increases?
90
The most, I mean, the biggest problem that people would face is when it's too bustling.
91
Then, for example, on like in the morning when people commute to work,
92
I guess it could have people feel suffocated, for example, in the subways.
93
That's what I felt when I was traveling here today morning.
94
and I know it's a massive problem in Kimpo Airport line
95
that people do feel suffocated and some people faint on the way to work
96
so if the city gets too crowded I think that's one of the biggest problems.
97
Is there anything that governments can do to ease these issues?
98
It's easy to say that you know we can expand the subway lines
99
but it's not an easy piece of cake to just plan it
100
and then have it work because you have to plan a lot to have one subway line to expand so
101
i am not really sure about how the government would plan
102
through making the betterment in the subway line being like crowded in the morning
103
or even after work times when people go back but
104
in terms of how the city would be like overcrowded I think that's what makes the city not in a good form.
105
Yes, yes.
106
And do you think most elderly people like living in a large city or in the countryside?
107
I think it's solely on personal preference, because some elderly people, they do like to live in bustling cities.
108
Like, for example, in my own feeling
109
that I would really want to live in a bustling city in the future when I get older.
110
But of course, people like my mom, for example, she likes to live in a calming, like more calm cities, like rural areas.
111
But I think it only depends on the personal preference because people, some people like to live in urban, but also the other people like to live in rural areas.
112
Yes, yes, indeed.
113
And what advantages can tourism bring to a city?
114
That it has a lot of things to do in a way
115
that you can plan your trip more easily
116
and you can go to more of the tourist attractions that is of a famous platform.
117
Yes, yes.
118
And are there any downsides to tourism in a city?
119
Well, I think it's a matter of that city's limit of providing that tourism service to people.
120
Like if they are not very busy or developed then I think
121
that city is not much it doesn't have much of the tourist
122
sort of attraction to people mm -hmm okay that'll do us
123
for part three okay thank you all done good test all right then let's let's start with the feedback yeah
124
so I would estimate your score to be seven to seven
125
point five yeah I think is really good test um pronunciation
126
and fluency are strong um some small grammar issues
127
but nothing too major um a few things with word choice
128
sometimes i think that's what what you could improve a little bit on you know um
129
if we look at some grammar errors when we talked about
130
you talked about plants and you said i'm not good with taking care of them
131
so just the difference between good with and good at so
132
when you use ing as an action taking care of them
133
you should be saying good at i'm not good at taking care of them
134
so yeah good at with like ing for example good at cooking good at singing
135
or if it's a sport or anything like
136
that we would say good at good with is more like
137
the concept you know like i'm i'm not good with people i'm not good with technology in
138
that sense yeah one other thing
139
when we're talking about reels you're saying like scroll down reels
140
I would probably say with reels I would use the verb watch
141
so people tend to watch reels watch videos
142
because it's more of a video content right
143
and instead of saying scroll down I would probably say scroll through scroll through
144
so yeah people scroll through social media scroll through Instagram and watch reels.
145
A little bit about the tense, sometimes you were using the present continuous tense when I think present simple would have been more suitable.
146
For example, the contents are drawing people, you know, the contents draw people, the contents attracts people, yeah.
147
In terms of preposition, when you talk about a trip, you said you went to this trip to Tuscany
148
so it should be went on the trip
149
so I went on a trip yeah
150
so I went on a bike trip to Italy in terms
151
of countable uncountable I'd say like the amount of people should be the the number of people yeah
152
so the word amount is only with uncountable nouns yep yeah yeah so like Really good.
153
Just sometimes like the phrasing was like a little bit awkward.
154
For example, when you talked about your trip, the view did lure people into having a more sensible trip.
155
I think the word choices are a little bit awkward in that situation.
156
Most of the time it's very clear, but I think that's something that could possibly be improved as well.
157
But yeah, that was a really good test.
158
So thank you.
159
Thank you very much.
160
Yeah, cheers.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
